LLBLGen Pro's designer needs the .NET framework v2.0 or higher to run. The .NET framework is a free download from Microsoft: click here to go there.
The generated code requires either.NET version 1.0 SP3, .NET version 1.1 SP1, .NET 2.0/.NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5 to run. You can generate code for .NET 1.0/1.1/2.0/3.0/3.5, CF.NET 1.0/2.0/3.5.
LLBLGen Pro ships with support for the following databases:
- SqlServer 7/2000/2005/2008/Express/MSDE/CE Desktop (using SqlClient)
- Oracle 8i/9i (using ODP.NET 9.2.x)
- Oracle 10g/11g (using ODP.NET 10.2.x, or ODP.NET 10.1.0.4)
- Oracle 8i/9i/10g/11g (using Microsoft's Oracle provider)
- PostgreSql 7.4+/8.x (using Npgsql provider for .NET 2.0)
- Firebird 1.x/2.x (using Firebird.NET provider for .NET 2.0)
- MS Access 2000/XP/2003/2007 (using OleDb)
- IBM DB2 UDB 7.x/8.x/9x (using IBM DB2 .NET provider) (not on iSeries)
- MySql 4.x/5.x (using Core Lab's MySql .NET provider)
- SqlServerCE on PocketPC/WindowsCE using CF.NET 1.0/2.0/3.5
- Sybase iAnywhere (ASA)
- Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)
LLBLGen Pro uses a provider model and additional drivers will be added in the (near) future.
To be able to create a project, you need any of the following database systems: SqlServer 7, SqlServer 2000, SqlServer 2005, SqlServer 2005 Express, SqlServer 2008, Oracle 8i/9i, Oracle 10g, Oracle 11g, PostgreSql 7.4+/8.x, Firebird 1.5, Firebird 2.x, MS Access 2000/XP/2003/2007, IBM DB2 7.x (z/OS or OS/390), IBM DB2 8.x/9x (Linux / Unix / Windows / z/OS / OS/390), MySql 4.x/5.x, Sybase iAnywhere 7.x+, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE).
LLBLGen Pro's generated code fully supports COM+ transactions. If you want to use COM+ transactions, you'll need Windows 2000 or higher (Windows XP, Vista or Windows 2003/2008 Server).
To be able to determine the complete schema and all the relations inside it, LLBLGen Pro requires that the schema's have all the foreign key constraints and unique constraints necessary. If your schema doesn't have foreign key constraints, you can add these relations by hand in the designer.

"We just wanted to pass along both a thank you and congratulations on developing a truly great product. At the time of this
writing, we have been using Llblgen daily for just over a year. It has saved us a substantial amount of time and effort in developing
a very large application (77 components (exe's and dll's)).
When we started development, two issues were deemed to be of critical importance to the overall success of the project, database
independence and the strict adherence to the n-tiered design philosophy. Llblgen has permitted us to accomplish this effortlessly.
An added bonus that Llblgen delivered is a total simplification of the sometimes complex issues associated with database manipulation.
We have now started work on a second project and would not consider developing in .Net without Llblgen.
